#therefore lambda ~~ 1.73 m#

Explanation:

The relation between frequency, speed and wavelength is given as:

# c = nu xx lambda#

where #nu# is frequency, #c# is speed and #lambda # is wavelength.

Given that:

#nu = 145 Hz#

#c = 251m/s#

And we need to find #lambda#, so,

#lambda = c/nu#

#lambda = 251/ 145 # #m/(sHz) =1.731034....#

Hz= number of cycles per seconds =#(cyc l e s)/s# , so unit of #lambda# will be
#m/ s xx s/(cy c l es) = m/ (cyc l e)#

That means wavelength is the length in metres of one cycle/ wave.

#therefore lambda ~~ 1.73 m#
